Answer

Correct option: B.
In metals, outer electrons are loosely bound to the atom.
In metals, the attractive force on outermost electrons towards nucleus is feeble due to which they become free from atom when they get a little energy from outside. Such electrons are free to move anywhere inside the metal, but they are not free to move outside the metal.
